I have a hobby. It involves choreographed dance routines coupled with show tunes. At times, I have been known to wear tights. The United States largest export is entertainment, and in "The Business," it really isn't what you know, but who you know.

Why? Well, take latest Tony winner and Delaware native
John Gallagher. Well, he's a friend of mine, which shouldn't surprise anyone who knows anything about Delaware. He's amazing, absolutely amazing, but it took a pulled string and a lucky break to get him in front of someone who had the power to show the world how amazing he is.
Is it shitty when no-talent jerkoffs cut in line due to their name? Yeah. But is it awesome when a shining example of exellence hits it big because of theirs? Yeah.
